Foot Cramp Relief Forever | Seattle Podiatrist

https://www.footankle.com/other-foot-... Learn how to prevent foot cramps. Foot cramps can be prevented by strengthening and supporting the muscles in the bottom of the foot. The cramps are usually due to fatigue of these little muscles in the bottom of the feet. In this video Seattle podiatrist Larry Huppin will teach you how to strengthen and support the foot in order to eliminate or reduce the incidence of foot cramps.

If foot cramps are due to overuse then they will usually respond to the treatments Dr. Huppin discusses including:
• Specific strengthening exercises for the muscles in the arch of the feet
• Shoe recommendations
• Arch support or orthotic recommendations
• Anti-inflammatory measures

There are other causes of foot cramps that must also be considered. If your symptoms do not respond the recommendations in the video, then one of these issues may be causing your foot cramps:
• Decreased circulation in the feet
• Lack of certain minerals including potassium
• Not drinking enough water
• Changes in hormone levels due to pregnancy, menopause and other issues
• Pinched nerves
• Use of tobacco or alcohol
• Poor nutrition
